Panchang for Indian cities

What this panchang tells you

A panchang is the Hindu almanac that fixes five elements of a day: tithi (the Moon's phase, counted from New Moon or Full Moon), nakshatra (which of the 27 lunar constellations the Moon sits in), yoga (a Sun-Moon angle used for timing), karana (half a tithi), and the weekday. All five are calculated here for sunrise at this city's own coordinates, using the Swiss Ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the same sidereal standard classical panchangas use. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, and Gulika Kalam are three periods classical muhurta practice treats as inauspicious for starting anything important; Abhijit Muhurat, the eighth of the day's eight equal parts centred on solar noon, is usually favourable, except on Wednesdays. Choghadiya splits daytime and night into eight windows each, some auspicious (Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Char) and some to avoid (Rog, Kaal, Udveg). Because tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana can change partway through the day, each one is shown with the exact local time it ends; where a value carries over past midnight, this page says so.
